New York City Adding 800 Police Officers, Bloomberg Announces - New York Times Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced this morning that New York City would add 800 police officers and 400 civilians to the 36,450-officer Police Department in the largest city-financed expansion of the nation's largest police force since the Safe Streets/Safe City program began in 1993 under the Dinkins administration.

In announcing the 3 percent expansion of the Police Department, Mr. Bloomberg said the officers were needed because the city had grown by 125,000 residents since 2001, when he was elected, and was expected to add an additional 200,000 over the next five years. 'An increase that size would be like adding the entire city of Pittsburgh to the five boroughs,' he said.

NYC has departed from its one-party rule death grip, by the way.
